What to know about Exterior waterproofing
Above ground, exterior waterproofing means keeping rain out of walls, and in the United States it is sold two very different ways. One version finds where water is actually entering and rebuilds the details that should have sent it back out: flashing at windows and roof-to-wall junctions, the water control layer behind the cladding, the joints at penetrations. The other version sprays a clear coating on brick and calls the wall sealed. Only one of those is usually the right answer.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size of the area and the height of the walls
- Material chosen
- Removal of the existing material
- Repairs needed to what's underneath
- Access, including ladders, scaffolding or lifts
- Trim, corners and openings to work around
How to choose waterproofing contractors in Frederick
- Choose a pro who works regularly with your material, whether that's siding, stucco, brick, eavestroughs or soffit and fascia.
- Ask them to explain what's causing the problem, not only how they'll cover it up.
- Get a written quote that separates removal, repairs to what's underneath and the new finish.
- For chimney and masonry work, look for someone with specific masonry experience rather than a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or scaffolding.
Questions to ask waterproofing contractors before you hire
- What do you think is causing the damage, and will your work fix the cause?
- Will you check the sheathing or wall underneath once the old material is off?
- How will you handle water management, such as flashing, caulking and drainage?
- Does this work need a permit from my municipality, and who will get it?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship?
Exterior waterproofing permits in Frederick
Some exterior waterproofing work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

A roof takes the full force of whatever the local climate delivers: hail across the Plains, hurricane-force wind along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, ice building at the eaves through a Northern winter, and relentless…

Roof Repair guide
Most roofs that leak do not need replacing. A repair is targeted work on the part that actually failed: a split pipe boot around a plumbing vent, step flashing at a wall that was reused one re-roof too many, a chimney…

Roof Replacement guide
Replacing a roof is the one moment when the parts of the assembly that actually decide its survival are visible and cheap to improve.

Common exterior waterproofing questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
